Global WiMAX Subscribers, Base Stations, and Revenues
In-Stat/MDR, June 2010, Pages: 62
As 2010 progresses, several market variables warrant predictions that WiMAX will take off, but there are gating factors as well. In WiMAX’s nascent stages, there were dramatic price reductions in the cost of WiMAX chipsets. Infrastructure equipment has been built to smaller form factors and base stations have been designed to use less energy. The largest WiMAX operators Clearwire, Yota, and UQ Communications offer unlimited data plans at reasonable monthly rates.
Unfortunately, several events have collectively stalled the momentum. The global recession remains a factor, and there has been little investment in new WiMAX deployments. India put off their 4G spectrum auctions until May 2010, and other global regulators have been slow to free up spectrum. Nokia Siemens and Cisco have announced their plans to abandon developing in the WiMAX space. Even successful carriers like Clearwire and Yota have expressed interest in using LTE in future deployments.
On the bright side, in early 2010, there was significant development in WiMAX devices. Personal mobile hotspots are now the rage. In the summer of 2010, Sprint is offering a HTC smartphone that will use a 3G carrier for voice services and WiMAX for data and Internet access.
In the report, In-Stat discusses the WiMAX ecosystem, provides forecasts of WiMAX subscribers and revenues. Base station shipments and revenues to BTS equipment manufacturers are forecast as well, by region and through 2014.
